✓ We have operated on 12 of 14 cases of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the posterior fossa since 1968, with one death. The lesions were in the cerebellum in 10 cases (three anteromedial, one central, three lateral, and three posteromedial), and in the cerebellopontine angle in two; in two cases the lesions were directly related to the brain stem. The AVM's in the anterior part of the cerebellum were operated on through a transtentorial occipital approach.

✓ A posterior fossa exploration was performed on a child thought initially to have an inoperable brain stem lesion. A pontine hematoma was discovered and evacuated. The pathological specimen was designated as a “cryptic” arteriovenous malformation. All preoperative neurological deficits disappeared except for a minimal left seventh nerve palsy.

Dural Avm

✓ A dural arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the posterior fossa can produce persistent tinnitus, convulsions, and dementia. Successful therapeutic embolization may result in a complete cure, but in some cases, patients do not respond to the treatment. The authors report a patient with a dural AVM of the posterior fossa that did not respond to repeated intravascular treatments, but resulted in an arteriovenous shunt in the scalp around the ventriculoperitoneal shunt system. Although several hypotheses have been proposed on the pathogenesis of dural AVMs, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The rare complication we encountered may shed some light on the pathogenesis of dural AVMs.

✓ The authors report the case of a patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage in whom an intracranial dural arteriovenous malformation coexisted with a spinal arteriovenous malformation. The latter was considered to be the source of the hemorrhage by clinical and radiographic criteria. It is concluded that patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage who show no suitable intracranial source for their bleed in some instances should be investigated for a spinal origin of hemorrhage.

✓ This 24-year-old man presented with an unusual case of a high-flow arteriovenous fistula (AVF). This lesion was similar to giant AVFs in children that have been previously described in the literature. In patients in whom abnormalities of the vein of Galen have been excluded and in whom presentation occurs after 20 years of age, a diagnosis of congenital AVF is quite unusual.The fistula in this case originated in an enlarged callosomarginal artery and drained into the superior sagittal sinus via a saccular vascular abnormality. Two giant aneurysmal dilations of the fistula were present. In an associated finding, a small falcine dural arteriovenous malformation (AVM) was also present. Arterial supply to the AVM arose from both external carotid arteries and the left vertebral artery, with drainage through an aberrant vein in the region of the inferior sagittal sinus into the vein of Galen.Craniotomy with exposure and trapping of the AVF was performed, with subsequent radiosurgical (linear accelerator) treatment of the dural AVM. Through this combination of microsurgical trapping of the AVF and radiotherapy of the dural AVM, an excellent clinical outcome was achieved.

Dural Venous Sinuses

✓ Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVM's) have been classified as pure pial, pure dural, and mixed pial and dural. Dural AVM's are relatively uncommon, with 377 cases documented up to 1990. These lesions were believed to be situated within the walls of the sinuses, but during the last decade researchers discovered a small subgroup of dural AVM's in extrasinusal locations such as the skull base and tentorium. Two of the 17 patients who were studied between 1976 and 1993 had dural AVM's that were entirely intraosseous except for their venous drainage, which was via the dural venous sinuses. Although such intraosseous dural AVM's have not been previously described, the authors elected to group these malformations with dural AVM's because their venous drainage was intracranial and angiograms revealed identical features.

✓ Two cases of dural arteriovenous malformation of the tentorial apex are presented. Both were treated surgically by means of a sinus skeletonization technique. The operative technique included a combined bioccipital and median suboccipital craniotomy in which the posterior third of the superior sagittal and the straight and bilateral transverse sinuses were skeletonized by incising the falx and the tentorium along the sinuses. Endovascular embolization was used prior to the surgical approach in one case. Clinical and angiographic cure was achieved in both patients, with a follow up of 4 years in the first case and 1 year in the second one. The surgical technique is described in detail.
